my friend, the hero of freedom in China, the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Pelosi], has just contradicted herself inadvertently. She just described abortion on demand, and although we say there is no Member in this House that believes in abortion on demand, they all defend abortion on demand and want other people to pay for it. I can be dispassionate today because the vote on this last year without rape, incest was 188 to 235. So we will win today. But what amazes me is a simple little quote from scripture: ``What does it profit a man or a woman to gain the whole world or political power and suffer the loss of their soul?'' I am looking at a list of 17 Catholics, at least in their bios, who called the Pope and Mother Teresa extremists, who call Billy Graham, who got our Congressional Gold Medal, who said we are a nation on the brink of self-destruction, they will vote for sodomy marriage and infanticide abortion and still put the word ``Catholic'' in their bio. Seventeen. And on this issue, it expands to about 30. Thank God, no Republicans. It is unbelievable the way we twist this issue on this debate. This Nation is opposed to most abortions, and they do not want Federal dollars to pay for something that although it has been constitutional on a phony decision based on a gang rape that never happened, most Americans see this as 32 million dead Americans in their mother's wombs.
